  1. I do the same, not being hippy, just too tight to pay for anything - takes a little longer, the garden is all organic still.
  2. Insurance company might pay for new fencing - might be you suddenly have a work trip that can't be avoided and will chase the arborists for trespass if they chop the trees down without you being on site to advice which plants are sentimentally important.... for an easier life they might pay out some something... wouldn't hold my breath though but if you don't ask you don't get - remembering taking away your trees is saving them thousands in property repairs.
  3. Petition to change the government... because much of what we are seeing isn't the doing of the current one but the fall out from the policies of the last one. 6 months isn't going to roll back 15 years of underfunding and a lack of investment in all public sectors, it isn't going reverse some of the ludicrous decisions, it isn't going to skip past the decisions taken during the pandemic that need to be paid for. So sure, sign away, put your name down, success would be another year of instability while another administration gets going, it won't reverse the unpopular parts of the last budget, the ££ raisers will be kept in quietly. Looking to recent history, May went to the ballot box with a nice majority and lost it, not sure any political party would do the same. Tories won't be pushing for one, Reform will eat into their voters again, the Lib Dems will eat away at Labour (and then into the Tory seats). So petition away, it won't happen. Again to recent history the only time the 'will of the people' was listened to was for Brexit - as hard as Johnson could make it and look at the rip roaring success of that. We, the people are not to be trusted generally.
  4. Pretty much
  5. Yes, whatever you say.
  6. Excellent. The Classic Internet Anonymous Coward, or just one of the type? I feel I have dodged a bullet here - or my scrolling finger has - with no mile long post from you, saves the old repetitive strain injuries from your screen shots.
  7. For future I'd wait till longer in the winter - no leaves - and the tree is dormant, but they are potted now. Long term they should go outside - definite for next winter (some trees need the winter cold to thrive next year). Assuming they have some roots soak the pot now so the sol settles round the roots but after not too wet and when there are no leaves keep the soil only damp. Roots also need to breath a bit - waterlogging can damage them, so not too wet and probably not watering every day. A bigger pot would help too. 'Pulled' from the ground sounds like you grabbed it and pulled, rather than dug up with the roots intact.. pulling will damage roots and it might struggle next year. Also be aware that they have just moved house, so like us, might need time to settle into the new home and thrive well
  8. Not being fussed to fill in -another- profile online bugs you? Ahh well, suppose it keeps you busy. Noting here the acceptance above of your description, or perhaps I shouldn't cause generally it sends you into a fit of rage posts that are a million miles long. Have a nice evening.
  9. Generally anyone who doesn't bow to JohnsonDs superior knowledge, worship of oil, Trump and racism and has political views left of centre. A little concern for the environment and our children and their childrens future also goes against his basic message.
  10. Not sure on that one,
  11. No spade connector on the earths (green / Yellows), is the wire cut and these can be connected together? Can you do a quick photo of the other sides of the switch assemblies? Perhaps upload them back and front next to each other? Just to check (see link below for what I think it is?) Look at the assemblies, generally I'd expect a wire in and a wire out from each part. So Gareths left switch has 1 wire attached, I think there should be a second wire. Likewise picture 3 has a single black wire going to something, I'd expect 2 wires there. What else is needing to be connected? Might be wise as well to check it out with a multi-meter or similar as to what connections are paired together. (My thought is that it is a motor and a switch essentially, get the mains wire the wrong way round, it will just turn backwards) Wickes 2500w Silent Garden Shredder *As New* in SK16 Tameside für 45,00 £ zum Verkauf | Shpock DE WWW.SHPOCK.COM Hi here is our garden shredder it is from wickes (there own branded shredder) we only used this once rs t
  12. 1 hours work start to finish?
  13. I've peaked too soon, gave you 3 replies all ready today, this comment is an extra freebie you lucky sod. Read this in your campest Glaswegian - you can do camp can't you? Thought you could "Oooh, SP, name check you, answer me SP, please do"
  14. Huel banned themselves from advertising on my facebook - it is soya milk and flavourings with a vitamin pill added. Didn't like it pointed out every time they sent me an advert that Aldi do soya milk for less than £1, vitamin pill is 10p and they charge £5 (think it is soya, might be oat). So they took me off their list.
  15. If you haven't seen him face to face in the garden, tell him you need the opportunity to finish a good job and get him to meet you there, if he refuses then that should give you a better standing in the small claims court that you are being reasonable.
  16. So.. he is increasing the defence budget to 2.5% of national income and retiring outdated equipment to free up cash for new equipment. Why does this make you angry?
  17. Stumps - could be tipped for sand dune stabilisation like they do with Christmas trees?
  18. You'd have to do a ground scan regardless though wouldn't you if you thought there was a chance of any buried utilities.
  19. Someone will take the money for nothing, probably charge the full amount (got to dig it all out first, blah blah, before can put the machine in).
  20. That was the original point of the story where I grabbed the image from, Baby Trump laughing that RFK had had a burger and chips, "Healthy stuff resumes tomorrow" type of comment from him. To me it is a very odd set up and group of people. I suspect even after being a president that Trump still gets star struck from Musk and his business success (nothing to Billionaire impresses Trump who isn't the business man he wants us to believe), and thinks that Kennedy will be an appeal to his base support, not an ally but an accessory. Musk and Kennedy however have everything to gain from Trump.
  21. I won't claim that apart from some lunchtimes when I feel it (I can accept it at dinner time, but not lunch)
  22. Not heard that one for a long time!
  23. Trumpton says 24 hours, give him a little time to sort his pens in his desk and work out where the cloak room is first.
  24. Yeah but by 30 January it will all be over anyway,
  25. How much the government will benefit from RWE... so that will be the 'shareholders'... us... not having to put so much in then.. is that right? Can't see how you are angry, a few weeks ago it was tax rises and now the potential for tax cuts, make your mind up! EDIT: Spent far too long talking to you in the last week, probably at the expense of more interesting discussions.... so say something new and interesting instead of the circular, same old - same old
